about me
I'm a father, a husband, a brother & a son of immigrant parents.
I describe myself as a ‘sales leader rockin’ a marketer’s hat’ because I aim to see from the lens of marketers to deliver mutually beneficial opportunities. My career has consisted of partnering with and helping grow the world’s most recognizable brands, from the agency and sales side.
My all time favorite teams are a reflection of teams I like to lead. The 2015 Golden State Warriors, the 2015 US Women’s national team and the 1999 - 2003 St. Vincent-St. Mary High School basketball team all consisted of world class talent that played with an underdog chip and plenty to prove.
I maximize my time outside of and through work by focusing on living a fulfilling life as a father, husband, brother, son and making an impact beyond myself. When complimenting the hats I wear, people often say, “I could never pull that off”. To that I say, “you can’t pull it off unless you put it on.” That is a reflection of how I approach new challenges.

in pursuit of my ikigai
Ikigai is a Japanese term that means purpose. It sits at the center of what we love, what the world needs, what we can get paid for and what we're good at.
My logo consists of the interlocking circles of ikigai, elements of my initials and a semi-colon; the point where I could choose to stop, but instead I decide to keep going.
